# Page Analysis: Judge Magazine This page contains three separate humorous anecdotes: 1. **"Golfer Gets a Three On Drive Into Lake"**: A golfer at Poland Spring, Maine drives into a water hazard but, rather than take a penalty, rows out to a rowboat, moves a seat, and plays his ball from the boat bottom—technically scoring a three. The heading poses a satirical question: whether golf rules permit training animals to retrieve balls from water hazards. 2. **Upper Berth Story**: A traveling mining company president is awakened by his upper-berth neighbor complaining about his snoring, which the president dismisses by saying "don't believe everything that you hear." 3. **Bottom Cartoon**: Two men discuss Marconi receiving a medal. One (Tony, appearing Italian by name) notes Italians give medals for achievements, while the other sarcastically responds that winning an "open championship" is more valuable—satirizing the gap between individual honors and major sporting accomplishments. The page satirizes class pretension, golfing absurdities, and ethnic attitudes toward achievement and recognition.

THE president of a large Western min- ing company, who in the course of his duties finds it necessary to do a great deal of traveling, was rudely awakened one night by the man in the upper berth. With some heat he demanded an expla ation.
